Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Compassionate Representation for Injured Victims in Northern Illinois

You may wonder why you need a personal injury lawyer after an accident. Perhaps you forgive the person who injured you or maybe you feel you can handle your case on your own because the insurance company seems nice. However, in most cases, it is in your best interest to have an experienced and skilled attorney manage your case and seek the justice guaranteed by our laws.

When you or a member of your family has been hurt in any type of accident, you may be left facing an uncertain future. You may require months or years of medical care, and you may be unable to work or provide for your family. If another party was clearly responsible for the accident, it would be nice if you could trust him or her to do the right thing and cover your losses. Unfortunately, things are rarely that easy.

First, the other party will almost never accept responsibility on their own. Next, even if they do, their insurance company will probably try to minimize the amount that it must pay out. This could mean disputing your injuries or trying to get you to accept a quick settlement that closes your case.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can help relieve some of your burden and provide a level of protection for you. A skilled attorney understands how to protect your rights and ensure that you are treated with dignity and respect at all times. Your attorney can negotiate with insurance companies and build a case to get you the compensation that may be available under the law.
